The easy way?...I'd use something like this in a 1/2" drill...http://cgi.ebay.com/Taper-Pin-Hole-R...item4ced84853dOriginally Posted by VX KAT
Another mystery today...recall I couldn't get the 3/4" Crosby shackles on front tie down hole. Got the next size down 5/8" (3.25 t) and just barely got the driver's side on, but couldn't get the pass side on...pretty close but still struck out.
Dave used a BFH a little, but it didn't seem to move anything.
I'm leary of going down to next smaller shackle as they're only 2 ton. I know many of you have at least the 5/8" shackles on the front. How? Crothrocket, did you have to rearrange some metal on the pass side???
Any suggestions? (Other than run over some boulders like Billy's method)
With more elbow grease, you can accomplish the same result with a large rat tail file...http://cgi.ebay.com/HAND-FILE-JOHNSO...item3a42986b32
OR a grinding burr in a dremel.
